Title head of the Heilbronner Tagblatt on February 17, 1945

The Heilbronner Tagblatt was a 1932 to 1945 in Heilbronn appearing regional daily newspaper that the NSDAP belonged and served as a mouthpiece for the Nazis.

It was founded in January 1932 by the Heilbronn NSDAP in order to have its own daily newspaper and has been published daily since March 5, 1932. From the autumn of 1932 (until 1938), the publishing director was the Heilbronn NSDAP district leader Richard Drauz . After seizing power , the Tagblatt publishing house was able to use reprisals to force all other Heilbronn daily newspapers out of business until the end of 1934 and take them over, especially those of the middle-class publisher Viktor Kraemer junior , whose printing and publishing house had been bought cheaply by the National Socialists.

Kraemers Neckar-Zeitung continued to appear for some time under NSDAP direction, from January 1, 1935 under the title Heilbronner Morgenpost , but was then discontinued on July 31, 1937. The Tagblatt had a newspaper monopoly in Heilbronn at the time of National Socialism and reported true to the line in the interests of the party until the collapse in 1945.
